Chapter 321: Shocking the World
Yang Xiong and Qian Renxue's battle can be said to have captured the attention of the entire world, especially since millions of people on the battlefield of Jialing Pass were able to witness this battle in the sky with their own eyes.
The fight between Qian Renxue and Yang Xiong caused the heavens to crumble and the earth to shake. It redefined everyone's understanding of the war between soul masters and also updated their perception of a soul master's true power.
In terms of strength, Qian Renxue is a level 100 True God, the strongest soul power level theoretically in ten thousand years.
However, Yang Xiong was able to contend with her at the level 98 realm, which is almost unimaginable. It is important to note that Sword Douluo also had a level 98 soul power, yet under Qian Renxue, he couldn't even block a single blow.
Challenging a god with the body of a mortal was something unimaginable in the past. Even the hidden experts of the world at this moment were deeply moved.
In the depths of the Star Dou Forest, Di Tian and the Silver Dragon King hid in the void, but all of their minds and spirits were focused on the fierce battle at Jialing Pass.
At this moment, even Di Tian was extremely surprised: "Master, as you predicted, this Yang Xiong has actually defeated a level 100 True God with his level 98 strength. His power may already surpass mine."
The Silver Dragon King remained silent for a while before speaking: "Qian Renxue cannot truly be considered a level 100 True God. Her inheritance has defects, and I don't know who tampered with her legacy. At least she doesn't have true level 100 strength."
"However, in terms of strength, Yang Xiong is indeed formidable. He has already defeated Qian Renxue, and in that battle, he should have held back. At least, he didn't use that brand-new power of his."
Di Tian said, "Master, can a mortal's power really challenge a god? I feel like the battle between Yang Xiong and Qian Renxue doesn't seem very real."
The Silver Dragon King smiled: "Indeed. Although both sides fought with all their might, it didn't feel like a life-and-death battle. There was an inexplicable connection between them. Otherwise, when Yang Xiong used that Shura move, if there was no room for escape, they would have both perished."
"However, after witnessing the battle between Yang Xiong and Qian Renxue, I've had new ideas. Perhaps I should go out to the Douluo world and see it for myself."
Di Tian was shocked: "Master, your injuries haven't fully healed. It's best not to leave. If your injuries worsen, I would be ashamed in front of the entire Dragon Clan."
The Silver Dragon King laughed: "Di Tian, my strength has already recovered by 80%. You've helped me recover the dragon souls of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King. They were among the strongest of the Dragon Clan, sharing the same origin as me. After their final dragon soul sacrifice, although I haven't reached my peak, no one in the Douluo world can stop me."
"Besides, this Yang Xiong is too mysterious. The Sea King Whale King was able to break through its limits and ascend to godhood, and it's equally strange. I need to confirm it myself."
"If what I suspect is true, perhaps you have a chance to break through and become a god after a million years. This might be the last opportunity for our soul beast clan."
Di Tian was silent upon hearing this. He had always pursued the dream of becoming a god after a million years, but due to the restrictions of the world, he had never had any breakthrough ideas.
"Remember, for now, you hold full control of the Star Dou Forest matters. Do not tell anyone else about my departure."
After the Silver Dragon King finished speaking, a loud dragon's roar echoed. The entire space seemed to tremble. Then, the Silver Dragon King turned into a silver light and vanished, leaving the Lake of Life without even Tang San noticing.
Then, a silver figure appeared in the core area of the Star Dou Forest. It was an extremely beautiful little girl with silver long hair, fair skin, and purple eyes. From any angle, she looked like an unparalleled beauty.
The Silver Dragon King walked leisurely through the Star Dou Forest, and everything around her seemed to have no impact on her.
On Seagod Island, although Tang Chen looked extremely old, resembling a man on the brink of death, he and Posey, both of whom were 99th-level Limit Douluos, could still feel the terrifying battle in the sky above Jialing Pass, despite being thousands of miles away.
Posey said, "Tang Chen, we've spent our entire lives pursuing level 100 godhood, yet in the end, the descendants of Qian Daoliu have taken the lead. What surprises me even more is that an ordinary soul master can challenge a god."
"I've seen this Yang Xiong many times. His strength is now far more terrifying than I imagined. Perhaps this is what they mean by the newer generation surpassing the older generation."
In contrast to Posey's amazement, Tang Chen looked exceptionally sorrowful at this moment.
"Posey, if I'm not mistaken, my grandson Hao'er has already fallen, and it was at the hands of the new Angel God, Qian Renxue."
"I've planned so much in my life for the Haotian Clan and for my descendants, yet in the end, I was powerless. I never thought that the casual joke I made with Qian Daoliu back then would lead to the tragedy of my Haotian Clan."
Posey hurriedly comforted him: "Tang Chen, the next generation has their own opportunities and their own fate. We're already old and can't manage these things anymore."
Tang Chen was silent for a long time before nodding: "Perhaps you're right. Now that Qian Renxue has become a god, Yang Xiong will likely ascend to godhood soon as well. I hope my great-grandson Tang San can become a god soon. Otherwise, the Haotian Clan will ultimately be at the mercy of others."
...
Since coming to this reef to cultivate, Tang San seemed to be undergoing earth-shattering changes.
Especially after witnessing the shocking battle between Yang Xiong and Qian Renxue, it had slightly changed his worldview.
Originally, Tang San had considered himself to have unparalleled talent, especially with the Tang Sect's ultimate techniques. He was certain he could surpass his peers. Even though he had always lost to Yang Xiong, he believed the difference between them wasn't significant. As long as he worked hard and could add soul rings to the Haotian Hammer, he could surely battle Yang Xiong.
However, after seeing Yang Xiong's performance, it completely shattered Tang San's perception. His pride seemed to have been broken in that instant, and the advantage of having twin martial souls seemed to vanish in an instant.
Yang Xiong had only absorbed his ninth soul ring, yet he had reached the terrifying level of 98. Tang San, on the other hand, had absorbed seven soul rings for the Haotian Hammer, and the Dark Blue Silver Grass had devoured a vast amount of soul power, yet he still remained at level 97.
Tang San felt that no matter how much soul power he devoured or how many corpses he consumed, he would always remain at the peak of level 97, and level 98 seemed so far out of reach.
Now, Tang San desperately needed two 100,000-year soul rings and two 100,000-year soul bones. This was also one of the trials from the Asura God. Unfortunately, despite cooperating with the Black Dragon Di Tian, Di Tian had not communicated with him at all, except for providing protection. He hadn't helped him search for soul beasts.
Tang San knew very well that his strength was far inferior to Di Tian's. Di Tian's terrifying dragon might and enhanced physique would likely make even Qian Renxue unable to do anything to him.
Not to mention that in the Star Dou Forest's Lake of Life, there seemed to be more secrets hidden, far beyond what he or his great-grandfather had seen.
Despite countless attempts to enter the Lake of Life, Tang San could never sense Di Tian's true dwelling, which only meant that there was definitely an alternative space here, possibly hiding the deepest secrets of the soul beast clan.
At this moment, Tang San's face was filled with deep struggle, even appearing somewhat twisted.
"Yang Xiong, I will not lose to you. As long as I obtain two 100,000-year soul rings, I will definitely become a god before you. I will surpass you again."
"Qian Renxue, you dare kill my father, I will tear you into pieces. Even if you are a god, I will pull you down from your pedestal."
Tang San seemed to have fallen into madness, or perhaps deep obsession, his eyes fixed on a certain spot at the edge of the Lake of Life.
That place was where the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Blue Bull Python lived. Ever since they were attacked by Bibi Dong, their strength hadn't even recovered half of what it used to be. With Tang San's current strength, he could easily defeat these two 100,000-year soul beasts.
However, Tang San clutched his head and shook it violently, as if trying to throw these thoughts out of his mind.
"No, Daming and Erming are Xiao Wu's family. No matter what, I won't hurt Xiao Wu, nor her family. I won't make Xiao Wu sad!"
The two thoughts seemed to battle in Tang San's mind. His face alternated between deep affection for Xiao Wu and a fierce, savage expression, with killing intent filling the air.
What Tang San didn't know was that after accepting the Asura God's inheritance trial, his soul power had already changed. Especially after absorbing a large amount of soul master flesh and soul power, it was tainted with the soul of the soul masters themselves.
These souls slowly entered Tang San's body through the Blue Silver Grass, not only contaminating the Dark Blue Silver Grass but also beginning to corrupt his very soul.
If not for Tang San's Xuantian Skill, he might have already fallen into madness.
The Asura God is the god of evil thoughts, an evil god under the Evil God King, representing one of the purest forms of slaughter in the world, completely opposite to the order of the Shura God.
For many years, Bibi Dong had already reached the level of Title Douluo, but after devouring Qian Xunjie, she hadn't immediately absorbed soul rings.
This was due to the repulsion between her two martial souls, and because she seemed to have lost control. If it weren't for the Spirit Hall being in the Spirit Hall City, and if it weren't for Spirit Hall having the world's purest Angel God power, Bibi Dong would likely have gone mad long ago.
Although Tang San had Xuantian Skill, due to continuously absorbing so many dark and evil attribute soul rings, the affinity for the Asura God had reached an extremely high level, without the gradual development needed, leading to his current situation.
Eventually, Tang San gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot, and he stared fiercely at the positions of the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Blue Bull Python, walking slowly across the Lake of Life. Every step seemed to show great determination.
"Father, mother, I will avenge you, no matter what the cost."
